Beatriz at Dinner

Beatriz at Dinner is the third collaboration between director Miguel Arteta and screenwriter Mike White (The Good Girl). They effectively make us uncomfortable squaring off a Mexican-born massage therapist against an arrogant billionaire over a dinner party.

Beatriz is a Los Angeles massage therapist and holistic healer who drives to the seaside mansion of her client Kathy. When her old Volkswagen breaks down, she receives a friendly invitation from Kathy to stay for a seemingly innocent business dinner. As the guests arrive and the wine starts to flow, Beatriz finds herself in an escalating war of words with Doug Strutt, a ruthless real estate mogul who cares more about money than people.

Director: Miguel Arteta

Runtime: 1 hour 22 minutes

Genre: Drama, Dark Comedy

“This is neither a simple satire of privilege nor a mock-provocative comedy of diversity and its discontents. It’s about a clash of values, about unresolvable contradictions.”

– New York Times

Shown as part of the Williams College Davis Center Social Change Film Series.
